I a newbie and I am trying to change my bootanimation.
I have
HTC Desire
OS: Android 2.2 (froyo) I updated it though OTA
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Radio: 5.09.05.30_2
Actually my device was unlocked but branded with UK O2 and loaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair). I used GOLDCARD procedure to make the device unbranded and then updated the OS. I also rooted the device using unrevoked 3.21 and it was successful.
Now the last thing I want to do is to change the bootanimation and I cant make it work. I am using rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip file to
/system/customize/resources
/data/local
But no luck .. the bootanimation screen remains the same “HTC quietly brilliant”
I am also trying to copy bootanimation.zip file in
/system/media
But after copying the file use to disappear. I cant see you though root explorer. I never checked by using "ls" command. Can you please help me guys
Moved to Q&A as not development
I think i dont have completely rooted device
here is the thing i am doing using "abd"

Ok,
Super user permission issue is solved
just have to keep the screen active to see the authentication messages from "Super user permissions" and then it works like a charm.

you cant write to /system/ when the device is booted even if your rooted, because we dont have an unlocked spl yet the nand protection prevents it, you need to put your device into recovery, and use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customise/resource/ and if that dosent work try pushing it to /system/media/

ive never come across this error before i found a thread in the hero section about it tho, maybe you should take a look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582378
this seems to be the remedy to your problem acording to that thread
simplyphp said:
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

Default rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also you will need a clean SD card 1 gig or more should be fine (smaller is better)
Unzip GingerBreak and misc_version into a folder say c:\Downgrade (I normally use 7Zip)
You should have:
c:\Downgrade\GingerBreak with 5 Files
c:\Downgrade\misc_version with 4 Files
Make sure you installed Android SDK's Platform tools and updated your path to reflect this
IE: run SDK Manager and install Android SDK Tools and Google USB Driver pack if you don t have HTC Sync driver running.
Format the SD card and copy the rom.zip into the base of the card, not a sub directory. (Do not unzip)
Now: Plug in the phone to the USB and make sure Debugging is on and the phone is set to charge only.
Then open Command prompt ie: run cmd.exe
Go to your Downgrade directory and test if your adb command is in the path. ie: run it and make sure it lists switches and not say file not found
Then run as follow
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
if you fail to get root ie: prompt does not return to # or get a endless sendmsg() failed? Error, reboot the phone and repeat the commands above. The phone I used, took 3 tries to get this right.
at the # run the following
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
When its done exit cmd and goto your phone, Reboot it while pressing volume down.
It will come up with a menu and follow the update instructions.
You should then be on Android version 2.2 when done.
Please note the rom that is supplied works with unbranded phone only if you have a branded phone you will need to make a goldcard. If you want to know how to make one, google is your friend sorry.
Hello Folks,
I have the same software as mentioned in the first post above:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version : 2.1
Baseband : 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

Build Number : 2.36.405.8 CL47853 release-keys
Software : 2.36.405.8
and tried the solution as given to the reply to the post. I have an unlocked unbranded HTC Desire HD. The cmd window looks like below.
c:\Htc>adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out. One other thing is the I was a bit lost about the installation of the Android SDK Platform etc...as mentioned, I presume it is required if you don't have HTC sync/drivers installed! Or is still needed?.
Just follow jkoljo method, worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I think you need to run GingerBreak in you method instead of typing su
Hope that will help.

Thanks for the reply mate. It's my mistake, I was actually typing the cmd window in the forum so might have omitted the line actually. So yeah, I did run the gingerbreak following
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
after which it again returns to $. I read in the same thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
that you have to get a # instead of $. So if you get $ then type su to get super user. It is said that a window will pop up on phone after typing su in cmd asking for permission. But I don't get any such pop up on my phone screen. Also, after running Gingerbreak, the cmd just returns the same $. Gingerbreak does not even run as far as I can say.
I wonder why after each adb command it returns:-
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
Any thoughts...
Use the adb that comes with jkoljo downgrade pack, and install HTC sync on your PC.
hello.. i have a desire hd with build number 2.37. based on gingerbread 2.3.3 .. i have a unbranded desire hd with s-off.. is it possible for me to downgrade to 2.2.. i followed ur guide using dhd in charge only with debugg mode but every time it gives me erroe that adm is out of date killing deamon started succesfull.. pls help i m fed up with the stock rom .. gingerbread ota is full of bugs and with connectivity problems.. thankz in advance
As far as I know, you cannot temp root 2.37 and hence downgrade is impossible at present
But you mentioned that you have S-off... how is that possible? Because if it is S-off, I am sure you can flash a custom recovery and then flash a custom Rom.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using the adb that came with the xda thread to downgrade. It's a folder that contains the adb and other stuff like GB........Yes, I do have HTC Sync installed on the PC as well.....so far I tried both my notebook and home desktop...same results. So confused...
I have s-off because when I was on froyo with build number 1.32 I rooted my dhd.. and now I updated it 2.3.3. Check the last post they say u can try downgrading if u have dhd with s-off
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
If you have S-OFF you should be able to flash CWM and install another ROM as naailalzuhir says. If you go to the CWM thread in the development section, it will tell you how to flash CWM from fastboot. When that is installed you should just be able to install a different ROM without downgrading. I think, but lets wait for soebody else's opinion on that.

Do you have anything from SDK running in background? Check your task manager, if you have adb.exe running, terminate it before running adb shell command.
I am assuming that you closed HTC sync software on your PC, plugged with USB debugging mode and charge only.
Hope that can help.

Hmm interesting You can indeed flash a custom Rom then and forget the hassel to root.
See these two posts in the forums for guidance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017364 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948304
NOTE: try to download 3.0.2.6 instead of 3.0.0.5 for EXT4 support.
Cheers
U want to say that if I Ve s-off I can flash custom Rom directly .. irrespective of temproot and that stuff... Guyz do temproot those u Ve s-on.. if this is soo I m on the top of the world
Also one thing does flashing from cwm is different than flashing custom Rom from rommanager.. I installed Rom manager but the option to flash cwm is not clickable .. pls help
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
That should be because you're not rooted so you do not have access to the recovery directory whilst booted into Android. You can also flash CWM from fastboot, bypassing the Android system completely. Instructions how to do that and the CWM files are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
Please wait for somebody's confirmation before attempting that though.
There is one more question if sumthing goes wrong while flashing then my phone ll be dead or get reverted to stock Rom.. if any unfortunately phone becomes dead then is there any chance reviving it back again.. I know its a dumb question but matters to me most cuz I can't spend again 30grands buying it...

Pls answer me.. I ve downloaded the pd918.zip file and I ve put it in root of SD card... Now I ve s-off. And when go into bootloader screen it analyses the image ask me to update... So am I eligible to do the downgrade process without having temproot...

Hi I have followed this guide exactly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003) and when i open command prompt and navigate to the downgrade folder i get stuck on the command:
"adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak"
I get the following error message "adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak: permission denied"
I have looked around for solutions but still cant find any way to fix it, help is very much appreciated!
Usually that would only happen to me if gingerbreak was already pushed to phone. Have you tried rebooting your phone and starting over?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
hi, yes i have restarted my phone and now i get stuck on the command:
"adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp"
and get the error message "cannot open 'GingerBreak' : no such file or directory'
But when I go into my downgrade folder it is definetly there...
What software version are you currently using, is it one that can actually be downgraded at this time?
If GingerBreak is transfered try running it.
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
what happens then?
alternatively try this guide instead, it helped me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
Hi thanks for the reply, when i do the command "adb shell /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak" i get the message "ermission denied"
hope this helps, will look at the link you posted
also my version of software is 2.36.405.8
Yeah follow the guide given above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233)
also re-download the downgrade tools. If you running windows 7 make sure you dont extract them directly to the c drive. first extract to some d drive or so and then copy paste to c drive or directly given the d drive path in the cmd.
Also make sure you are logged in as admin in the system. and run the cmd after right clicking and selecting run as administrator .
and also you are deleting the older PD98IMG zip file and doing all the cmd stuff after downloading the stock PD98IMG zip file and putting it in the sd card.
Make sure you check the md5sum of the file you downloaded so that its integrity is intact.
See if it works after all this. Do post your results.
All the best
Cheers!

and underneath that it has displays the GingerBreak file and its details. The downgrade folder appears in the D drive but without the GingerBreak, misc version or psneuter file.

Start at step 2.
bump - still need help on downgrading!
I created the pathways needed to open files in command prompt and set the pathways to C:\Android-sdk\tools and C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools. I have unzipped and installed everything and placed the files in the platform-tools folder, but i cannot access the files through prompt. it tells me C:\android-sdk\platform-tools is not recognized as and internal or external command. Please someone help... i havent worked with DOS since i was in high school 14+yrs ago.
So you changed your PATH environment variable to include 'C:\Android-sdk\tools' and platform-tools?
That just lets cmd run exe's from those folders regardless of where it is pointed, it will not let you access other files from those folders.
You still need to either change where cmd is pointed (using the 'cd' command) or you can move the files to where cmd is currently pointed (probably C:\Users\Username>')

I faced the same problem. My Windows PC didn't recognize the attached Android-device (Check Windows Device Manager).
After following the instructions as described in the following thread it suddenly worked and I could successfully root my device:
[Tutorial] Adb Driver Android 1.0 Install
Cheers
pemphix
Please help
Well i got the USB driver installed and ran adb Devices.... it picked up my phone but now when im running adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp i get the message "cannot stat "fre3vo" no such file or directory". Am i suppose to be in C:\users\name\Android-sdk\platform-tools\ to run the adb push?
If so, need some help with command prompt. Im running windows 7,
need to either edit the path in environmental variables or make sure all the files needed and adb.exe are in the same folder and change directories to there, i have a guide to setup fastboot (and adb is the same setup for the most part) HERE
Ok, Well i got Command prompt to start working. i remembered how to path in dos but my first go round with commands didnt work so i have to try another line to exploit.. wish me luck:fingers-crossed:
I will keep that in mind.. right now im trying to get the exploit to work.. i have gone through 1 thru 3 and got nothing yet...
so you successfully downgraded to 2.2 and are now trying to temp root? maybe like the guide you are using so we know what steps 1 through 3 are and explain what isnt working if you have issues
xda wiki, cyanogen wiki and strawmetals pdf guide are simple easy and trust worthy. i hope one of these is the guide you are using

I have gotten as far as "# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 skip=160 count=10 1.00.000.010+0 records in 10+0 records out 10 bytes transferred in 0.001 secs (10000 bytes/sec)". Now the next step is to downgrade. the command line is:
> adb push su /data/local/tmp/
> adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
> adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp/
> adb install SuperUser.apk
> adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
> adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
but my command prompt is still # what do i do to
skip that, thats just for temp root which is pretty unnecessary. just downgrade and move on
I know i sound really stupid, but where is the Root of my SD card??? Please dont tell me its just the card itself...
yup, dont put files in a folder is what that means
Ok, now im in Hboot, but i dont understand what im suppose to do next. How do i work bootloader to downgrade. Once in bootloader i see; fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc
if the PC10IMG.zip is on the root of sd card and is named properly it will do it for you, just boot into hboot and let it do its thing.
if you want to do it the fastboot way (my preference but both work fine) then follow setherios guide to do it that way
---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------
oh and always check md5sums when flashing firmware, its a good habit to have
Now here is an important question. If i had to turn off my phone before the Hboot took, do i have to go thru the entire process again? or can i just do the reboot bootloader?
well i just tried to fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip and it said cannot load StockRom.zip any ideas how to get it to work??
are you using window? if so know that it may be hiding the file extentions, so pc10img.zip should be named pc10img
etc, this may be your issue other than that you will have to copy and paste your issues so I can see what you are doing and why its failing

THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS BECAUSE ANDROID ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE BACK IN 2013-14.
PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME TO FOLLOW THIS OBSOLETE METHOD 1. PLEASE REFER ONLY TO METHOD 3
The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually !!!!
Wanting to ROOT Your Phone but can't do Because Of No rooting Guides or want to learn to root any device ? Then , This Guide Is For YOU
OK So lets start....
**What You Need**
1.Your Unrooted Android Device.
2.ADB Drivers Installed On Your PC. If you Don't Have Download From Here :
Code:
adbdriver.com/
3. The Most Inportant Root Kit Made By Me (N'ayam Amarsh'e) - Download From The Attachment.
4.Strength And Courage 'Coz Rooting Voids Your Warranty... If You have a samsung device then Don't Worry Your warranty is gone forever... But if you own any other, maybe you can void it or maybe......
I've Written Android Device as ADV to make it more easy....
**Steps**
So you have the adb drivers installed let's go....
1. Open The root kit by Extracting The Rootkit with WinRAR....
2.Turn 'USB DEBUGGING' 'ON' in your ADV...
3. Connect your ADV to Your PC...
4.In the root kit Open Cmd.exe File ... [ IF YOU CAN'T OPEN CMD, GOTO C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ COPY CMD .EXE TO YOUR ROOTKIT FOLDER]
5. In CMD window Type the following command...
Code:
->adb devices *Your device will get listed in the window if it doesn't check your adb drivers or if you have followed the steps properly...
->adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
->adb push su /data/local/tmp
->adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
If you Succeed Move On ...
6.Then You need Root Shell Type :
Code:
adb shell
Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not in 'su' shell.
7.Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:
Code:
->chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
->chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
->chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
{Note}The names of the files are case sensitive!
8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)
Code:
->sudo nautilus
this will open nautilus with root privileges...
You can just boot it from USB so no hassle of installing it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-11-04-iso-cd-dvd-images-natty-narwhal.html
Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode...

Many Users Are Having Problem with This Method, If you can't do the method 1. Try Method 2.
METHOD 2
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, THIS IS JUST FOR A TRY, MY BROTHER FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE WORKING, I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET!
This is linux based method, It's quite easy if you follow every step correctly...
You need to download psneuter, https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/scotty2/psneuter
When you have it execute the following...
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
This will copy the file to your device and now we'll execute it..
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
./psneuter
Now You'll see
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su.
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb push busybox /system/bin
$ adb push su /system/bin
$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb reboot
Now your device will reboot and you can see SuperUser App in your app drawer...

that means you have not properly pushed the files into the directory.... Try installing adb drivers again and do the same steps...Good luck
When you open cmd just type ' adb devices' if your device gets listed then you can start if it doesn't check your drivers...
After uinstall all adb drivers and phone drivers comand prompt shows me a device code and status ofline. At the begining i install atached to therad package of adb drivers. But lately some where in Internet I find some update package of adb drivers. And there was the same sort of files like in your package. I put them there and replace and after that adb shows the device is working and status is online but your guide still does not work. Question is where is real problem ? I checked and Debug Mod is on, drivers are installed.
Try this , download android commander and try to copy the busybox , su and superuser to data/local/tmp

I used the same files in android commander because program can't finde my device to.
Which phone you have.... Try to download its original drivers this might help...
I using Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Now is working. But how to move "su" and busybox into system/bin ? Android commander says " You need root to do this." when i try to copy does files into system/bin. Folders are protected and I dont have premission to do anything with them.

Sorry I forgot that Android Commander works only for rooted phones... Silly Me...
OK you will need to do it with Droid Explorer
OR
linux and in the linux you'll have to type 'sudo nautilus' it'll open it with root privilages...

And in your guide need little correct. In step 9 should be /data/local/tmp not /UserData/local/tmp. Does are two diffrent folders. And before I think I do something wrong when all files be already on right place
Droid Explorer cant change folders premission too. Command prompt says : Read-only drirectory. I don't know what to do now.

Hi! First thank you for that guide. I rooted several devices but with a noname(10.1" A10 dual core) china tablet I have some problems so I hope your solution works.
I have some problems/questions:
1. Step 5: Are you sure it's:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
instead of
adb push su /data/local/tmp[B][SIZE="5"]/[/SIZE][/B]
I'm currently not able to look at the data folder but if I change the directions e.g to /test/local/tmp it just creates a "tmp" file and overwrites the file with every push command.
2. Step 6: If it's a $ it's not rootet, what should be there if it's rooted? I have a # there. Rootchecker says it's rooted since the beginning, but I cant access with superuser/supersu etc.
3. Step 8 doesn't work. I use a virtual box with ubuntu 13.10(Stinson: new is always better?) for the first time. With "sudo nautilus" I get the message that root access is not granted(failed to register client). I used "gksudo nautilus" instead... does that matter?
4. I can't connect my device to the virtual box. I tried to add the usb device but didn't work. USB Developer Android[0223] is in virtual box connected. However, I dont know where to find it in ubuntu. I'm a ubuntu noob sorry :/
5. Is there another way to get rw permissions?
Thanks in advance :good:
thankyou for information i think is hard for me
Very nice, ty

For Your First Answer You Need not to worry /tmp and /tmp/ are the same...
2.Have you tried typing 'adb shell' then ' su ' if yes there's your solution.... If not then you have problem with su binary or busybox....
3.You have an Ubuntu 11.4 .iso file so burn it to a blank disk and boot your live disk .... It should be all right then...
4.Answer in 3....
